I've been with mine 31 years, and I know what you mean. I'm so sorry for you. The one good thing to come out ofthis is that your little hatchling turned up, I hate men, and mothers in law, and sisters in law.

Although i can see your point here and why your upset, surely you must realise that alot of people without knowledge think that all snakes are dangerous and venomous!
the first question i get asked when i say i have snakes is "will they not bite you and kill you?" coz alot people just think all snakes are deadly!
you can't really blame someone for having this attitude coz it is just an attitude that has been bred from human beings fear of snakes and frankly, it is better that people are scared of them and flee, coz some are very dangerous, and if you don't know how to identify species how are you going to know whether a snake is dangerous or not?
glad you found your fox snake tho

I hope you get that "person" outa your house asap! To threaten your lil snake in such a way in your own home is dissrespectfull and bl**dy evil!
I have my fingers crossed for you lil baby. Good luck and best wishes to you both!

Hi Paula,

If able, can you nip along to a local pet shop, chemist or vets, and get some electroyles, or if able make up your own high energy glucose drink that is palatable enough for a snake to accept, as this will give her the energy boost she requires at this stage. Giving whole food when very weak can use up her last reserved strength, but the electroyles will compensate for this, so please give this request the urgency it deserves. Thanks. x

Sorry to hear about your personal issues, and hope that things will resolve quickly in your favor and those of the rescues you keep. 'Hugs'.

i would have chased her out the house with a large saucepan, it annoys me when people hurt animals just cos they dont like them!

thanksanyway tho hun
I was looking for the drink data you wrote a while back so i can defo use in the future p xxx

Hi again Paula,

When working with good reptile vets, the first thing they always concentrated on giving was electrolytes for accident cases, pre-op and post-op and in cases of shock, due to the fact that the snakes own immune system can work against it at times like that, and the electrolytes can boost them, and their systems really well.

Reptoboost is sold by Vetark that is owned by Reptile specialist Vet, Peter Scott. I highly recommend it, as it contains important ingredients including the avipro and electrolytes.

REPTOBOOST is a probiotic combination of bacteria, enzymes, electrolytes and vitamins. Its high palatability means it can be added to the drinking water making its use simple for all species of reptiles. It is also ideal for use by stomach tube in rehydrating reptiles which have become dehydrated.
REPTOBOOST contains:
· Lactobacillus with Streptococcus faecium which live for a short time in the gut, helping to stabilise the pH.
· Yeasts to provide a source of amino acids and vitamins.
· lipase, amylase, protease and cellulase.
· electrolytes to aid in maintaining adequate levels in reptiles with diarrhoea which lose electrolytes and maltodextrins for sustained energy
It is only necessary for probiotics to live a short time to establish the right conditions. By their combined action the ingredients of AVIPRO help to create and maintain slightly acidic conditions in the gut to provide the correct background for the reptiles own flora to re-stabilise. The electrolytes and dextrose incorporated into
REPTOBOOST also contribute in a major way. A very important aspect is the use by the veterinary surgeon in reptiles which are under treatment with antibacterials where the normal flora may be unbalanced and a bloom of inappropriate bacteria may occur causing perhaps haemorrhagic enteritis.
For support of stressed reptiles use 4g (one scoop) per 100ml of drinking water

It'd bad enough that people you don't get on with come in and out of your house when they want, but for your partner to take their side over yours regardless of them being family must be horrible.
My Fiance didn't want me having more than 2 Beardies.. but Im now upto 16 lizards and he's let me have the Dining room as my Reptile Room.. It's all about compromise, hopefully your partner will realise he should have a word with his Sister too rather than just shouting and you and maybe your relationship can be saved.

Hi Paula
I'm really pleased that the lil one is coming along ok and hopefully it will make a full recovery. I cannot believe that your partner has acted this way it is bad enough that his family just lets themselves in and i know you have been having alot of problems with them over the past few months but to attack a hatchling is just disgusting. I have my mother in law living with me and she is petrified of my reptiles and I know she would be happy if i were to rehome them all but she would never hurt one if it escaped no matter what.As for the actions of your other half well what can i say that hasnt been already said. I would get rid of him asap you deserve alot better and if oyu need any help please dont hesitate to get in touch and i will help in any way i can. Godd luck in the future hun and I hope everything works out for you. Keep your chin up and dont let the b******ds get you down and im sorry you were made redundant as well. My contact details are on my profile or just pm me if i can help
